I have been wanting to try these since I first saw the videos go viral! Tonight‘s tonight! Here’s the recipe I’ll be following 😊
Big Mac Smash Burger Tacos
Ingredients
For the smashed tacos:
12 mini flour tortillas
1 pound ground beef (453 grams)
salt & pepper
1 tbsp vegetable oil
12 slices of American cheese
1/2 white onion finely diced
24 slices of pickles
iceberg lettuce shredded
For the sauce:
1/4 cup mayo
3 tbsp ketchup
1 tbsp sweet relish
1 tsp yellow mustard
1/2 tsp white vinegar
1/2 tsp sugar
1/4 tsp paprika
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp onion powder
Instructions
Prepare the sauce by combining all the ingredients in a small bowl.
Divide the ground meat into 12 equal portions, approximately one small handful each, and shape them into balls.
Take a small flour tortilla and place a ball of ground beef on top. Flatten the beef until it covers the edge of the tortilla in a thin layer. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Heat a pan over medium-high heat. Add 1/2 tsp of vegetable oil. Put the tortilla with the meat side down onto the pan. Use the back of a spatula or a burger press to press down, creating a smashed burger effect. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the ground beef is browned.
Flip the taco over so that the tortilla side is down. Place a slice of cheese on top and allow it to melt for about a minute.
Remove from heat. Add diced onion, shredded lettuce, pickles, and the Big Mac sauce as toppings. Enjoy the taco while it's still warm!
Notes
Use 80/20 ground beef for juicy smashed burger tacos.
Any melty cheese is great for this recipe such as a slice of American cheese, swiss cheese, or gouda. You can even use the processed cheese (or plastic cheese).
Use flour tortillas to best replicate the taste of burger buns.
